INTERVIEW with DANIEL BACHMAN


Safe // Sound was able to chat with Daniel Bachman on the eve before his show in Savannah!  We were able to figure out a little bit more about the uber talented, elusive twenty-two year old.  Here's what he had to say:

It goes without saying, but Hi:

Hey!



Seven Pines is so atmospheric and evocative, do you attribute your songs to a specific place, region or memory?  Is your hometown, Fredricksburg, the Mountains?
 Fredericksburg Isn't in the mountains - its about halfway between DC and Richmond on 95 and an hour to the east the bay and an hour to the west some pretty serious foothills.  But its still very nice around here in town and around the counties - not completely taken over by DC yet.

FRIDAY JULY 26th: PALMBOMEN, PAINMEDZ, LEN BIAS, CHRISTO



☮☮☮▼▼▼ PALMBOMEN ▼▼▼☮☮☮

Berlin-based Dutch disco producer Palmbomen has a profound palette for the peculiar. His original work, which has been released through NON Records and Kitsuné Maison, uses desolated studio equipment to produce haunting dance music. As a DJ, Palmbomen creates soundscapes that are as diverse as his influences. Original edits, unreleased material from the NON imprint, and everything form ‘60s Psychedelia to ‘80s Italo-Disco complete Palmbomen’s exploratory approach to the decks. Modular Records, Vice Magazine, and Red Bull Music Academy are just a few music entities to commission sets from Palmbomen.

"The idea of CAPE FEAR is flowing over the faces of non-potable waterbodies much like that gust of tingling joy loitering in the space between skull and brain. We hope to maintain certain instances and keep that space in vibration. As a means to an end we must lean towards incapacitation and dip ourselves into the shimmering pools of promise; self help manuals and cold intuition. The collision of flesh and the rhythm of contact transmission is that candid economy of desire and CAPE FEAR offers the most choice package.

Consider yourself saved.

Consider CAPE FEAR."

'Traps' is Home Body's first official vinyl release and tells a darker story about our histories. Here are the sleeping secrets, forgotten histories and stories. It's a reconciliation of apathy and action. We can't believe everything we're told. Our guts are the best compass for finding truth."

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16TH: CHRIST LORD, HELLO OCHO, MAKEOUT CLUB



CHRIST, LORD is a six piece Eastern European influenced pop group out of Atlanta, GA. You'll find the lively band playing anywhere from fancy restaurants to grimy basements, art
museums to smoky clubs, street corners to living rooms. Their act, including an accordion, a stand up bass, a tuba, an electric guitar, a trumpet and drums, feels like dancing slow on the rain-wet cobblestones of Hungary, yet transcends towards the most intricate and fun wedding dance in the same country-side. They've played with Atlas Sound, Dark, Dark, Dark, Reptar, The Growlers, O' Death, The Coathangers, World Inferno Friendship Society, Hello Ocho, Little Tybee and many more.

"Christ, Lord pulls influence from sources such as Beirut, Tom Waits, and Man Man but Christ, Lord manages to rise above their predecessors’ weight. The band remains beautifully ramshackle." - Performer Magazine.

http://christlord.bandcamp.com/
http://www.facebook.com/christcommalord www.christcommalord.com

HELLO OCHO is a psychedelic collage of bedroom funk with a smooth mixture of electronic and acoustic instruments. Once just a poppy, exuberant dance act, Hello Ocho has honed their sound into something far deeper, yet still fun. Their latest album, released earlier this year, has been met with much praise.

“It's full of soft and dreamy spiritual anticipation, wrapped in a dark and rhythmic excursion, punctuated by just enough ecstatic shouting to pique your ears and your synapses” - Creative Loafing, Atlanta.

http://helloocho.bandcamp.com/
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hello-Ocho/104292336271719

HALLUCINEX is the shoe-gazey, daydream experience of local favorite Taylor Noll. The music is sweet and subtle; like the fondness you feel for your high school love. On the 16th, he'll be joined by Paul Georner of Blackrune to really create some onstage mysticism. If Hallucinex is the light, then Blackrune is the dark and together the boys will vibrate with an intensity that none will surely forget.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8TH : FEATURELESS GHOST, RECONS




FEATURELSS GHOST's approach to live electronic and vocal performance oscillates between the ecstatic experience and the darker moments on the dance floor. Performing and recording music together since 2007, Matt Weiner and Elise Tippins relocated from Brooklyn to Atlanta and formed Featureless Ghost in late 2010. Sinc then, the prolific duo has released cassette EP's for Night People and Crash Symbols and their debut vinyl LP, "Personality Matrix," on Night-People in November 2012. Featureless Ghost continues to draw attention both locally and abroad for their distinct version of industrial strength synth-wave, commanding male/female vocals, and for their dance floor-ready performances and recordings.
